Treats for toothless hamsters?

Dramatic · July 2014

My hamster Poshtyn (Posh) was born without teeth. I've had her for about three month now, making her sixth months old. To feed her, I put her food in a little blender and powder it, then add some water to make it a mush. Since she can't pick-and-choose what she wants to eat and doesn't want to eat, she's probably healthier than my gerbils ever were! But I'm running out of treat ideas... Sometimes, I'll use carrot baby food in her food instead of water as a treat, and she really likes it. She has also had fresh bananas and one time I gave her a little bit of mango. The mango has a higher sugar content though, so she got super hyper and hardly knew what to do with herself, so I'd like to avoid that! But I am out of ideas of treats to give her. It has to be super easy to eat or mush up. I always check the ingredients of what I give her, and I know the rules about citrus, onions, etc. Any suggestions? Posh is a sweet little thing, she deserves some extra goodies every now and then.

Pics or it's not real! You could try cucumber, their centers are pretty soft or maybe even a low sugar yogurt?

My suggestions would be: Squash Sweet Potato Cooked Egg Cooked wheat pasta Strawberries Blueberries (You could mash up the strawberries and blueberries)

I have blurry pictures, but I'll try to get some better ones tonight. It's hard, she moves so much! Thanks you guys, I'll go through this like a list. She's gonna have treats for months now!

I especially like egg idea, something less messy that we can both hold easy. I think that would be a good training treat, we've been lacking those.

What about pumpkin puree? Not sure if they can have that or not as I can't recall what all they can have :P

Howdy, Stranger!
